Welcome to the World, Baby Claire!

On February 22, 2011, at 1:37pm, we welcomed Claire Marie Bradford 
into the world and into our family!!!

She was 7 lbs and 19 inches of perfection.

There are no words to describe the utter joy and amazement of seeing your sweet child for the first time. Hearing her first cry, holding her for the first time, and touching her soft, brand new skin, is like nothing else in this world. 

We absolutely adore her; we are so thankful for her; and we give all the glory to the Lord for this tiny miracle that was formed so intricately, so wonderfully, and so perfectly by the loving hands of our Heavenly Father. 

Pre-Delivery:



7lbs flat!

Bubba Bear and Claire Bear! Sweet loves!

Day 2! and a visit from Nana!

Daddy's Girl




LOVE!

The Bradford 3

It is kind of unbelievable that this is our last weekend as a family of 3! We decided we wanted to do a couple of fun things together before all the craziness of a new baby begins, so last night Sean and I went out on a little date to one of our favorites, Panda Inn.

When we got there all the staff was running around we didn't really know what was going on, but there was one server on the phone with 911, and then another server {who ended up being our server} ran up to the hostess stand and frantically said the guest at the bar was "foaming at the mouth and spitting up onto his plate." Now of course we were concerned for his well-being, but really? I did not need to hear that right before I sat down for a nice meal! Hopefully he was alright. Never a dull moment I tell you!

We enjoyed some Jasmine tea, spring rolls, Panda beef (Sean's favorite), vegetable lo mien, and Sweet and Aromatic Chicken {formerly known as Sweet and Pungent Chicken} I don't know why, but the name change made me chuckle. And yes, that was a lot of food, but that is the problem with eating Chinese with just 2 people- we like to have a variety, so we just end up with lots of leftovers. Oh well. It was nice being out just the two of us!
Sean's face is priceless. "Are you really taking pictures of the fortune cookies?"
Yes. I am.
Today we wanted to do something fun with Jack, so we headed up to the Poway Midland Railroad to take him on the train, only problem was that apparently every 3rd Sunday of the month, the volunteers that run the railroad take the day off. DOH. 



We decided to stay and have lunch at the Hamburger Factory and then just walked around the park, which ended up being such a fun little outing- even though it wasn't exactly what we were expecting.

We ended our little outing with Tirimisu gelato and Chocolate Mint Chip Ice Cream!! Yum!


I just wish we had our tripod so we could have gotten at least 1 picture of all 3 of us! It was a wonderful day with my boys though! Still can't believe tomorrow is the last day before we welcome our baby girl into the world! Tomorrow will be a "nesting" day for sure! Cleaning, packing, and playing with Jack! Eeek! So exciting!

My Boy.
